Acquiring Old Coins: Three Proven Methods
Now that we understand their value, let's explore how to obtain Old Coins. While not rare, accumulating large quantities requires effort. Three primary methods exist:
-
Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars scattered throughout the game world. These pillars only become visible upon close proximity, but using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird enhances visibility from a distance.
-
Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to foster bonds with officers. Reaching certain relationship milestones unlocks conversations that reward Old Coins and further strengthen your connections.
-
Mission Completion and Regional Peace: Progressing through missions and increasing regional peace yields various rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific thresholds.
Consistent gameplay steadily increases your Old Coin reserves, allowing you to acquire the most desirable items from Sima Hui.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
